TRACY, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Spiders in the room, they turn off the wifi at night, and the bot water was off in the morning. The only redeeming quality is the river.

Limited WiFi. No breakfast or coffee. Very expensive for the services provided.
Bill, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

No coffee/tea facilities in room, TV didn't work & wasn't sorted when requested, very noisy coningent of neighbours parrying outside till 1.00a.m and not dealt with by staff, few food options, badly maintained property, no air-con, generally shabby. We're surprised Expedia lists this property.
Helen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Only there for one night. Unable to access the wifi connection. Property manager was very helpful, as we arrived very late at night and showed us the and room and everything in it. Offered to provide us with a n air conditioner but there were 2 fans that provided us with cool air. We had stayed there overnight at the beginning of our vacation and we decided to stay on our return home.
Deborah, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It is a beautiful location next to the lake. Staff were friendly. Room included a kitchen area that, unfortunately, was not clean. There were left over cheese slices in the fridge and the stove top and burners were very dirty. The bed had no top sheet, just a thin comforter and the water only got warm; never hot.
Lauretta, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

They purchased stars from India. There's no way this should be rated 4.2/5
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Bathroom and window mold, no AC only a floor fan, limited snacks only, all lawn chairs broken by river.
steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very remote, so no other option. very basic no extras, coffee, coffee maker etc.
Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The room was not great, but the sheets were very clean and it was affordable and convenient. The people running it were unbelievably nice! Someone’s dog knocked their ball in the lake, and they went in and retrieved it for the dog owners without asking and with no hesitation! It was so pretty outside. Blueberry patches, fire pit, picturesque lake. TV didn’t work, wifi was iffy. Bring a book or sit outside and chat with the neighbours.
Chelsea, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Thank you so much. We had some delays in getting there, and staff were very patient and accommodating when we arrived. Really appreciate it!
Chance, 1-night trip

Basic clean accommodation to stop in the middle of nowhere. Was cycling through the area and needed a stop. Food is available to order. Had a delicious burger. Helpful staff.

Khaled, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Had to leave too early because I was so uncomfortable with room conditions. Mosquitoes and bugs
Adebayo, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not really as advertised. Nice location. Tv froze or wouldn't load anything. Not really a shared kitchen, regulars at hotel took charge. Not worth the cost.
PATRICIA, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The property is several decades behind in updates. There wasn’t any hot water in the morning even after running the tap for 20 minutes. Carpet smelled of urine. Doors and windows did not keep any noise out from busy road as they are very old. No security lock on door. Wifi did could not keep up with all the people on it so you could not stream anything on the tv or computer. Staff was attentive to help when needed. We changed rooms due to ants in bathroom. They helped with the tv not working-no remote. Overall if I am going to pay $160 a night I expect what they are advertising. They should be charging half of that amount. I would not recommend this property to stay.
